Rules and

Reminders For
Online Classes
“EDUCATION IS NOT THE
FILLING OF A PAIL, BUT
THE LIGHTING OF A FIRE.”
W.B. Yeats
Classroom
Reminders
Simple and important rules to remember
and follow during virtual classes
 BE ON TIME
Set up early so that you're good
and ready when class starts.

Ensure your device is on and fully charged

Ensure you select the correct link for the class
at the time

Let's make the most out of our learning sessions. Get to your
study space a few minutes before class .
BE PREPARED
FOR CLASS
Have everything you need within reach.

Organize your study area with all the

necessary material you will need for class.

This saves time when class is going on and you need something for
working through a lesson.
WEAR APPROPRIATE
CLOTHES
Make sure you look presentable for class.
Be prepared, should your teacher ask you to
turn on your camera while answering or
explaining.

Have a morning routine:-

Wake up early
Brush teeth and shower
Dress accordingly and appropriately
Have a healthy breakfast
Get to your study area
 BE RESPECTFUL
Respect your teacher and classmates.

Sit in a respectful manner

Greet your teacher and classmates with kind
greetings

Listen attentively to your teacher and follow

instructions. Raise your hand when you want to
speak and wait to be called before speaking. Listen
quietly when someone else is speaking.
Online Etiquette
Good behavior and manners expected of us
when we're in class

Rule #1- Treat others as you would like to be

treated
 KEEP YOUR
MICROPHONE
ON MUTE

Reduce background noise and distractions.

Microphones can pick up background sounds that may not bother you but may
bother your classmates and teacher. If you want to say something in class, raise
your hand and wait for the teacher to acknowledge you before unmuting.
BE RESPONSIBLE
IN THE CHAT BOX
Use the chat box for class-related
matters only

Use this feature for class related topics. Remember

to TBP
BE FULLY PRESENT
Pay attention and participate actively.
Don't play games on your phone, check your social media or watch
videos. Focus on your lessons, take notes and participate in class.
Also, avoid constantly moving away from your study area because
that may be distracting to your teacher and classmates.
REMOVE
DISTRACTIONS
Treat online class time as "real" class time.

Think of this as if you were in school with no

TV, cell phones, video games etc.

Find a quiet space for class. Turn off the TV or any music in the
background. Keep mobile phones on silent and away from you.
Don't eat or drink during class to avoid distracting your teacher
and classmates.
 OTHER CLASSROOM REMINDERS
Don't be afraid
to ask questions
Feel free to ask your teacher if you
don't know something or if
something is unclear.
Submit
assignments correctly
Follow your teacher's rules and
instructions on how to submit your
work online.
Be courteous
and polite
Think before speaking. Say "thank
you" and "please" when
appropriate.
Take breaks
from being online
Find time to recharge and engage in
offline activities. Find balance and
make time for your hobbies as well.
Keep up with lessons and
homework
Review your notes. Stick to a study
routine so you won't get behind
with class assignments.
Support
each other
Be kind to everyone. Let's
encourage and lift each other up.
